He joined the Stamford Bridge outfit in the summer of 2022 from Italian outfit, Napoli, but injuries affected his first season in the English top flight.

Koulibaly to remain with Chelsea?

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Koulibaly wanting to stay with Chelsea 'for many years', adding that he would soon return to his previous form.

The Blues lured him to Stamford Bridge last summer, but he has struggled so far to justify the hefty amount paid to Napoli for his services.

Many fans have expressed anger over Koulibaly's current form for Chelsea, saying the club should sell him off before the new season.
